Guardians of the Galaxy #14 (2021) - "Doom's will be done."

[laughing_tree]

It's surprising to me that Doom doesn't do more in a galactic context - he's such a big deal in his own mind that he should let the whole universe know of his greatness. And of course, he's literally created a whole universe of his own in the past, and ruled it. So it's not that he's short of ambition. -- Al Ewing

Yup- that's how you beat Doom. As brilliant, ruthless, and deadly as he is, he's remarkably susceptible to schoolyard level taunts.

Gamora's emphasis on the "stretching" was a particularly nice touch. That's why she's the deadliest woman in the galaxy: she knows where to stick the knife where it hurts most.

Unfortunately, this post, alongside this post

covers more than 1/3 of the published story, which is not permitted under board rules

Please amend your post to be cumulatively 1/3 or less, of the issue.

Fixed :)

Incidentally, the body swap might be my favorite of Doom's tricks, because while the science and sorcery are things he struggled for and studied, the body-swap was just a trick some aliens taught him because he was a good houseguest or somesuch.

Wasn't their whole thing "we're so evolved we don't remember the concept of deception so surely this Doom guy is on the level"?

"A swell guy who will surely only use this power for good!"

Please tell me this will lead to a Planet of the Doombots.

Here is something I posted to Twitter:
"I don't care if you're friends with #MonicaRambeau or not," the guard said. "You can't enter, Mr. Voom."
"It's Von Doom," the handsome man said. "Doctor Von Doom."
See? I can create a wild out-there fan theory like the rest of you!
